title: Pseudoaneurysm of the superficial femoral artery detected by emergency medicine bedside ultrasound.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Femoral artery pseudoaneurysm following by cardiac catheterization is a serious groin complication requiring careful assessment and prompt intervention.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  Risk of femoral artery pseudoaneurysm is estimated at 0.6 to 17 following diagnostic and interventional procedures.
  
  
  METHODS
  The clinical usage of bedside ultrasonography as part of the physical examination by attending emergency physicians has increased significantly over recent years.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Bedside Emergency Department ultrasonography provides the clinician with critical information noninvasively, rapidly determining various anatomical structures.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We presented the case of a femoral artery pseudoaneurysm detected by the bedside emergency department ultrasonography secondary to angiographic catheterization.
